Happy Birthday to Sivad and Andi
Dr. Seuss' birthday was on March 2nd, so we have been reading his books and talking about rhyming words.
Grandparent's Day was so much fun! It was wonderful to meet grandparents and special friends last week. I would like to thank everyone who "shared" kiddos in our class who did not have grandparents close enough to visit.
Math
We have been working on addition- composing numbers. We have played many games where the kiddos determined how many altogether when 2 groups are joined. We used + and = in number sentences and found the sum. We solved addition problems by drawing pictures and joining groups.
Reading
We have been reading Dr. Seuss books and discussing rhyming words and word families.
At literacy stations we...
We read I do not like green eggs and ham and the kids wrote their own version by filling in the sentences "I do not like green eggs and ham, but I do like green _____."
We read Dr. Seuss books on iPads.
We read Put me in the Zoo and the kids made their own puppet for the story.
We label, write a list, card or story.
The kiddos completed Dr. Seuss inspired number maze and addition sentences.
We are practicing our No Excuse Words by making sandwiches and recording the word wall word on them.
Word Work
We have been learning about the secret stories of vowels. We know that vowels make 2 sounds- when vowels are in disguise they are being short and lazy (short vowels) and when they are being a super hero they are saying their name (long vowel).
